I can post those rules at the beginning of the OOC thread, plus the stuff from the beginning of the GESB (no powergaming, how to create good dialogue, etc.)  Let me know if we think of any more!

I think a general guideline regarding well-thought out posts is a good idea. You know, stuff like avoiding one-liners unless necessary, making sure that you've read previous posts pertaining to your story line, checking all grammar and whatnot.

Good idea, y'all! Also, we should talk about the aspect of powergaming that deals with what characters should or shouldn't know. Just cuz it's a pet peeve of mine. :)

It looks excellent to me ;) We can always add to it later if necessary, but for now, that looks like a great introduction. Lots of good pointers there.

I also added a couple points on no character sheet being required, since that's been a common question; and, importantly original characters only.

EDIT:

Also guys, please keep in mind: When a roleplay storyline leaves the bar, as occasionally happens and is totally fine, PLEASE have one of the parties involved take the initiative to start a new thread for that storyline, as it is no longer "at" the GESB. 

Putting this into the official rules.  Thanks.

I was  wondering if we should but I thought that we didn't have enough people to merit a new thread.

Just remember: If more than one person leaves the GESB, it's enough for a new thread!  And if one person solely leaves...well...the y're just kinda...gone.  ;D

Thanks for understanding, guys!!

No problem. I've still got Claxter there, if anyone wants to talk to him. Both he and Oss are all mopey, but for different reasons.

Me too. It might be cool for Claxter and Oss to mope together and talk about their problems, but Claxter is actually avoiding the guy. Oblivious to his moping.

I would join, but I have not a faintest clue of what the storyline is right now. May I ask what is of humanity at this point?
